This is not a themidibus bug. Check out my reply to your question on the Processing forum.

Hey @StanLepunK thanks for opening an issue and sorry for the slow response. @crystalOrigin is correct this is not an issue with theMidiBus. It's a question of what device/bus you're sending your MIDI notes and CC changes to.

In most cases if you're sending MIDI data from processing to another application you'll need to setup a virtual/internal bus on your computer. On the Mac these are known as IAC, on windows you may need to install some third party software. You can see this very good Ableton Live article

Once you have a virtual bus you'll basically be setting the virtual bus as the output for the processing sketch and as the input for the app you're using. So something like this

Processing + theMidiBus ---CC/note---> your virtual bus ---CC/note---> Audio app (DasLight, etc)
